Newton Distance

Anonymous runner · Jul 26, 2024

5/5

Overall

The most overlooked shoe on the market. These shoes are the most lively aggressive running shoes out there. Such an incredibly fast light feeling on asphalt. Every incarnation of the Distance I have loved. While everyone is out buying carbon plated shoes and weakening their Plantar Fascia and Achilles a few of us are sticking with the old school way of thinking that less is more. I highly recommend these shoes to anyone who has ever raced on the track. They are not for everyone everyday but I do think a very valuable tool in this day of carbon plated shoes with 39mm of cushion.
